I keep hearing “let me make this perfectly clear!” most of it is not clear because they are not following our Constitution.
Gag order on Trump is Un-Constitutional! Everyone affiliated with the trial can do Social Media and talk to the press BUT TRUMP CAN NOT Ruled by the judge. That is Un-Constitutional! I can’t see him not talking to the people of our country, he will do that, maybe on his way to jail. I wonder if there would be like the old days and have a JAIL BREAK? It would have to be done in a legal way. Brag wants him held for contempt of court but mention no one else!
From what I have been told Bragg does not have the credentials to prosecute Trump but New York is letting him do it and they are making up their own laws. Continue reading
Who is hindering the passage of the FAIRtax? The answer: those who benefit from the current system. A recent Rasmussen survey may provide a partial answer to who those people are.
Scott Rasmussen provides a revealing look at a group that he calls “America’s elite 1%”. This group is defined as people who make over $150,000 a year, live in densely populated areas and have postgraduate degrees. Here is some of the results of the survey:
* The elite 1% represents 1% of the population and are extraordinary influential.
* A heavy concentration of them went to one of 12 elite schools.
* About half of the policy positions in government and half the corporate board positions in America are held by people who went to one of those 12 schools.
* They are in power centers – Manhattan or D.C. Continue reading
We all know that the Ocala Metro is growing, we just have not known how much. Now we do! The new Census numbers for Metropolitan areas and counties recently were released and this area is growing even faster than we anticipated. For the period of 1 July 2022-30 June 2023, the Ocala Metro (Marion County) was the 4th fastest growing metropolitan area in the nation! What does that mean? As of the cutoff date more than 9 months ago, the population of our community was just shy of 410,000 people. For comparison, the population at the 2020 Census was 376,000.
Of the 392 Metropolitan Statistical Areas in the US, the Ocala Metro now ranks 134. In 2020, we ranked 148. Not only was our growth rate (3.4%) the 4th highest, but we ranked 31st for the highest quantity growth. In other words, while extremely large metros (Dallas, Atlanta, Phoenix) may have much smaller growth rates, they could still add tens if not hundreds of thousands of new residents. The Ocala Metro still ranked 31st in sheer numbers despite being smaller than any other metro ranked above it in this category. Continue reading
Dear Friends,
In the last few days, Governor DeSantis signed the following education bills into law:
HB 931 establishes a statewide school chaplain program, which:
▪ Authorizes school districts and charter schools to allow volunteer chaplains to be on school campuses and provide additional counseling support to students.
- Chaplains will be assigned by the district school board or charter school governing board.
- A student may only receive support offered by school chaplains with written parental consent.
HB 1317 authorizes districts to allow civic and patriotic organizations to visit schools to encourage student participation and involvement. These organizations include: Continue reading
When was the last time you engaged in pandiculation? No, it’s not a religious ritual or a Beyoncé dance move, and certainly not an intimate interplay. In fact, you needn’t look any further than your beloved four-legged companion to witness the essence of pandiculation.
Pandiculation is our body’s innate mechanism for awakening the sensorimotor system and priming us for movement. Picture yawning and stretching, extending your arms, elongating your spine, and rotating your head, or observe the graceful stretch of your pet after waking from a nap. Pandiculation isn’t merely stretching; it involves a controlled contraction of muscles at their maximum length, alleviating accumulated stress from inactivity.
The benefits of pandiculation are manifold, encompassing improved posture, circulation, mobility, strength, proprioception, pain reduction, lymphatic flow, and neural, somatosensory, and cognitive stimulation. It’s an instinctive response observed even in utero. Continue reading
The Annual fishing derby was a great success. As you can see there were a lot of fish caught. The senior fishing derby has buses from some of the assisted living care. It give them a chance to get out and breath some fresh air in the sun. Actually fish if they want to and get a hot meal. If you have a senior in your family or know a senior that does not get out see about getting them to a half day of fun in the sun. Put on by then Ocala Parks and Recreation.
